Truly so shocked. Anyway, pretty obvious since the biggest reason these companies refuse to even release the server component (as opposed to making the game playable offline) is that they can then either "remaster" the game and release it again in like a decade or just release it again with maybe a couple features added and call it v2.0.

    "And now, available for a limited time from within the Disney vault!"

    They were really selling VHS cassettes as the definitive format you would keep and treasure for the rest of your life.

    Yeah and now I own them all. I did not pay for a single one as VHS is treated as trash most of the time. Don't play them just have them sitting in a closet due to their stupid giant plastic boxes that become brittle and crunchy when exposed to sunlight (kinda like the corporate ghouls that made them).

    Nintendo is doing exactly that (pulling games from stores, letting them die). Now that they have more invasive DRM in their latest console, they might even take a more active approach like Ubisoft wegen it comes to live service games. Let's just "sunset" Mario kart world live service and brick it in a couple of years?
